Laos – the most bombed country in the world, still hides millions of unexplosives underground. Sad reminder of the Vietnam War, in which Laso did not even take part. For last forty years lethal weapon has reaped the harvest of many lives. Every year about a hundred people dies. Forty percent of the casualties are children. Sometimes they do not die instantly. They bleed out in hospital where there is neither serum nor specialised equipment. If they are lucky, they lose only limbs.

Someone has calculated that if a planeload of bombs were sent every eight minutes, twenty-four hours a day, for nine years nonstop, it would give the equivalent to explosives used in the bombing missions between 1964-1973. Today, I do not like people more than usually.
